Disney and Lucasfilm preview first footage from the upcoming film “Star Wars: Starfighter,” featuring Ryan Gosling and a young co-star, at a major fan event. Reports say the movie is directed by Shawn Levy, and the early visuals introduce a story centered on Gosling’s character and his dynamic with a younger sidekick.
The outlets also identify the film’s theatrical release date as May 28, 2027. Variety and other coverage describe the footage as showing Gosling “racing through the galaxy,” while framing the premise in terms of character contrast—Gosling’s figure from outside the core power structures—alongside the next-generation companion. Gizmodo similarly confirms that the first look is from a new, post-“Rise of Skywalker” era “Star Wars” adventure, while Variety notes that plot specifics remain limited. The common emphasis across reports is that the footage functions as an early tease rather than a full narrative reveal, with promotional details and character positioning taking priority over confirmed storyline points.
